Proton Pass Gets 'Pass Monitor' Enhanced Identity Protection

Proton has announced a new 'Pass Monitor' enhanced identity protection feature for its Proton Pass password manager.

Pass Monitor alerts you of account weaknesses and data breaches so you can better defend your online accounts against attacks. We believe security should be easy, so Pass Monitor watches out for you automatically and guides you through solutions in the event your data leaks from a third-party service.




Pass Monitor includes four layers of security:

● Dark Web Monitoring: We scan illicit data marketplaces on the dark web to check if your Proton addresses, email aliases, and up to 10 custom email addresses have been leaked. If we find anything, we alert you immediately so you can take quick action to secure your accounts.

● Password Health: This is like a checkup for your account security. We'll let you know if you have any weak or reused passwords that need to be updated.

● Inactive two-factor authentication: 2FA is a second layer of security in addition to a password that greatly reduces the risk of hackers breaking into your accounts. Pass will identify accounts where you can enable 2FA.


● Proton Sentinel: Released last year, our Proton Sentinel program uses AI and human analysts to detect and block account takeover attacks. We're rolling this feature into Pass Monitor.

Availability
Password Health and 2FA checks are included in Proton Pass Free plans. You can get Dark Web Monitoring, Proton Sentinel, and other advanced security features with the Pass Plus plan. Pass Monitor will be available to everyone on all devices over the next few days.
